On the morning of the big day, Vially Dorestant prepared for her son Corey’s school photo shoot to ensure he felt calm and confident. Little did she know, she needn’t have worried.
In a video posted online, Corey displayed his planned smile for the picture at his new school. With a lovable grin (咧着嘴笑), Dorestant believed he was well-prepared.
Dorestant shared, “Corey can become shy and anxious around people, so I wanted to make sure he felt at ease during his first picture day at the new school.”
However, Corey’s actual pose for the picture was far from the shy and sweet smile his mom had expected. The video revealed Corey posing with left hand in his pocket and right hand resting under his chin (下巴) — a gesture that caught Dorestant completely off guard.
“At the first sight of the picture, I was stunned; it took me about five minutes to process because I couldn’t believe what I saw,” Dorestant said. But eventually, she found it amusing.
“I felt so proud of Corey for overcoming his nervousness and allowing his true personality to shine through. As a mother, my only wish is for him to be true to himself through any challenges he faces,” Dorestant said.
Dorestant’s video has over 18 million views and 25,000 comments, with many surprised by the result. “Nothing could have prepared me for the ending,” one user wrote, while another commented that it was the “best case scenario (场景)”.
For Dorestant, Corey’s first picture day served as a valuable lesson. “As parents, we often feel the need to protect our kids and prepare them for the world, which can make us anxious about their readiness, but we need to trust in their abilities and give them the space to shine on their own,” Dorestant said.
4 What did Dorestant worry about her son at first
A. He was frightened to meet his new classmates.
B. He was embarrassed to pose for a photo.
C. He might get lost on his way to school.
D. He might be unprepared for the new term.
5. What does the underlined word “stunned” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Shocked. B. Disappointed. C. Grateful. D. Worried.
6. What can we know about Dorestant’s video
A. It went unnoticed. B. It made record profits.
C. It put Corey in trouble. D. It was well received.
7. What did Dorestant advise parents to do
A. Believe their own judgement. B. Serve as an experienced guide.
C. Give full play to kids’ potential. D. Teach their children everything.
C
Have you ever struggled with a task because two arms just weren’t enough If so, you might like a new device that can lend a helping hand literally (真正地). You wear this robotic arm, and then control it with the muscle you use to breathe.
Currently, the robotic arm is worn in the middle of your chest, but it can also be placed above your shoulders or at your side, depending on what you want to do with it. Engineer Giulia Dominijanni, part of a team at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), helped create the device.
In the past, robotic arms were designed to replace lost arms, with brain signals controlling them. This new device allows users to control an extra arm while still using their real arms. For this reason, the team designed it to be controlled by breathing.
The robotic arm can sense the movement of your diaphragm (膈膜), the muscle that helps you breathe. When you breathe in, the robotic arm stretches; when you breathe out, it retracts (缩回). Breathing normally keeps the arm still.
Before making the actual arm, the EPFL team created a virtual reality (VR) model. Volunteers learned to control this virtual third arm using breath sensors. The tests showed that people could easily look around and talk while using the arm.
After successful VR tests, the team built a simple robotic arm that functions like the virtual one. Early tests showed that users could comfortably operate the extra arm alongside their own arms.
However, researchers are still exploring how well people can control this robotic arm without affecting the use of their natural arms. Jacob George, a director at the University of Utah’s robotics center, notes, “When you’re adding something new on your body, it’s unclear how much the brain can do with that. But in time it becomes possible to control the new arm well.” And scientists at EPFL believe that understanding this could benefit those with disabilities or people recovering from injuries.
8. How do EPFL’s robotic arms differ from previous ones
A. They feature affordable prices. B. They are operated by breathing.
C. They can address our health issues. D. They are controlled by brain signals.
9. Why did the EPFL team create a VR model
A. To cut its production cost. B. To attract more volunteers.
C. To know how brains work. D. To test the newly-invented arm’s actual function.
10. What is Jacob’s attitude to the robotic arm
A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Robotics Gives Us an Extra Arm
B. A New Device Helps Scientists
C. The Secret of Human Brains
D. Tips on How to Use an Extra Arm
D
The Europa Clipper spacecraft has reached a key milestone and is on track to launch to explore Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星), Europa. The launch window for its journey opens on October 10.
On Monday, the mission passed Key Decision Point E, which is a critical planning stage that allows the mission to move forward. This news was a relief for the Europa Clipper team, especially after a possible issue with the spacecraft’s transistors (晶体管) discovered in May. These transistors are important for controlling the spacecraft’s electricity and needed to survive Jupiter’s high levels of radiation (辐射).
Over the past four months the team have conducted many tests on the transistors at different NASA facilities. They made sure to finish testing on time to avoid putting off the launch. Europa Clipper will carry ten scientific instruments to help determine if Europa could support life in its salty, subsurface ocean.
With the mission approved, there are no changes to the launch plan. “It’s the last sort of big examination before we really get into that launch fever, and we’re really happy to say that they passed that examination today,” said Nicola Fox from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has a powerful magnetic field (磁场) which is 20,000 times stronger than Earth’s. Any spacecraft going there must have radiation- hardened electronics. Jordan Evans, the project manager, noted that Europa is at the edge of a radiation belt, making it a challenging place to explore.
Curt Niebur, a program scientist, noted this mission is not about looking for life itself but determining if necessary elements for life, such as water and energy, are present on Europa. If Europa Clipper finds these, it could lead to a follow- up mission to search for life.
12. What can be inferred about the spacecraft’s transistors from paragraph 2
A. They put off the launch mission. B. They fell into pieces in space.
C. They are in good condition now. D. They had survived on the moon.
13. What did Nicola want to say about the result of the mission’s final examination
A. It was satisfying. B. It was subject to change.
C. It was wasting time. D. It was out of expectation.
14. What is the mission’s key goal centered on
A. Building a habitable planet for human beings.
B. Exploring signs of supporting life on Europa.
C. Figuring out how much water Europa contains.
D. Repairing transistors on the Europa Clipper spacecraft.
15. Where is this text most likely from
A. A dairy. B. A newspaper. C. A brochure. D. A guidebook.

A couple of days ago, my nine-year-old son and I were shopping at a grocery store near the company where I worked. At the checkout, I noticed a mom and her son. The mother seemed not to have enough money to afford her milk and cheese. Therefore, the manager had to remove the items in her cart and carry them away to the fridge section.
There had been times when I was so poor that I didn’t have adequate money to buy the groceries that my family needed, but today was different. It was payday, so we stood in line with our groceries there.
I whispered to my son and told him to run and get the manager back with the items. He was confused. Obviously, he didn’t understand what I meant. I was trying to do an act of kindness, but it went wrong.
Before I could get my fascinating plan carried out, the lady had left with her son and taken fewer groceries than she had intended. I briefly told the checkout guy to charge me for her milk and cheese and that we’d run to the parking lot to catch up with the mother and her son. He asked, “You’d do that ” I nodded firmly, “Yes, I want to make sure they have what they need in spite of facing financial problems.”
Immediately, he called back the manager. I paid for my items and hers, seized one of my son’s hands and then hurried to the parking lot where we thought we would find the lady and her son. However, when we arrived, the two had disappeared in the empty parking lot.
I felt terrible and regretful for not telling the mom what I wanted to do for them. If I had told her everything about it, maybe I would not have missed the chance of doing a good deed to help them out of trouble.

Full of regret, I headed for my car with my son.

【答案】 Full of regret, I headed for my car with my son. My shoulders slumped, weighed down by the disappointment of the missed opportunity. My son, sensing my dismay, tugged gently at my sleeve and said, “Mom, let’s go back to the grocery store. Maybe the cashier can help us find them. They might have left some information.” His voice was filled with determination and a childlike optimism that cut through my gloom. I stopped in my tracks, looking down into his bright, earnest eyes. The idea seemed far-fetched, yet his unwavering belief made me pause. I took a deep breath, realizing that in this moment of regret, his suggestion was a glimmer of hope.
Following my son’s advice, we returned to the grocery store. We approached the checkout and told the cashier to please hold the items with our note for the mom in case she returned. The cashier agreed and was touched by our persistence. When we were leaving, he assured us he’d make sure the items were given to the right person. With hope, we went home, knowing that our effort at kindness might still find its way to them. That day, I realized that sometimes good intentions don’t go as planned, but the desire to help can still make a difference.
